hi,
did the following:
1. floppy boot (ok)
2. scanreg/restore at c: (ok, restored to earliest date-3 days b4 problem existed)
shutdown, restart (no go-"explorer.exe, must restart windows...")
3. scanreg/fix (ok)
shutdown, restart (same problem)
*prior to this, i did do a registry check and the 3 hour hard disk scan. registry
ok, c: drive okay.
